Found some obviously scammy ads in the classifieds. Doesn't seem to be a "report" button anymore - if there is, I can't see it.

Asked the AI thing, and got:

  1. Reporting the user— go to the poster's forum profile and use the report/contact options there.
  2. Posting in the forum— flagging it publicly in the relevant forum section gets mod attention pretty quickly, and the mods are generally sharp at spotting dodgy accounts.
  3. Messaging a moderator directlyvia the forum PM system.

1. Clicking on the user's name just takes me to a list of their ads, no profile, and no "report user" button. The ads have a "report ad" button, which just takes you to the ad... see above.

2. Not a great system but ok.

3. There's a forum PM system? Where's the list of mods then?

Something else that's now more difficult.

There isn’t one as mods are predominantly anonymous. 

You can email us.

Three more of these today. I have lost track of upgrades for the site, but I was sure we're meant to be on upgraded hamsters now. 900 meg connection here, it's not my end 😉

What phone/app are you using? 7.8Mb is pretty big and, I suspect, caters for 99.9% of users. 

Iphone 17 Pro

I'm used to much larger file sizes but my point is the file gets resized anyway and a few extra mb in the grander scheme of things is pretty trivial.

Not sure if this is the place to post this.

On my, ahem, work laptop, I was getting a lot of Cloudflare "Verify you are human" checks. Fine. Then it changed to "Error 403 Forbidden" and I can't get in. I stress, this is my work device so I can't do my job of reading teh internet.

I previously emailed tech and without a reply, it started working again - as in, went back to cloudflare verification and access OK. Not sure if anything was done by tech. 

Now it has returned to 403 Forbidden. Is this an STW blockage of some kind? Is there a way round it?

Thanks

It’s to do with your network provider and DNS not updating. There is a fix on the previous page, but as it’s a work laptop you may not have access.

Thanks Drac. Yeah, can't tinker with work laptop but tested by disconnecting the broadband cable and connecting to mobile hotspot and it works ok - which explains why it worked intermittently.
If it's down to broadband, then its BT/EE. I'll dig into whether anything can be done there.

I'm having a continuing issue with displaying forum images. If there are more than one in a post, it will only open the first one no matter which I click on. No obvious next/last buttons to click.

Chrome on PC, firefox on phone, both the same

Might have been mentioned, but for the last few days when I click on Latest it scrolls to the very bottom of the page.

Same for me, but it goes to the bottom, then goes up to the last post. Definitely didn't do this a few days ago
